Tailscale Business VPN
Everything you wish your legacy VPN could do, but better
No more shared credentials, clunky clients, or fragile network configs — just secure access that works.
Why teams are making the switch to Tailscale
Identity-based access controls
Manage access by user, team, or role — not static IPs. Tailscale ACLs ensure the right people get the right access without network gymnastics.
SSO and MFA with your IdP
Integrate with your existing identity provider, including Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, or custom OIDC — no new login system needed.
Direct peer-to-peer networking
Skip the bottlenecks of centralized VPNs. Tailscale creates encrypted mesh connections, even behind firewalls or NATs.
Built-in WireGuard® encryption
All traffic is end-to-end encrypted using WireGuard — fast, secure, and invisible to your users. No manual config required.
Git-backed access policies
Define and manage ACLs in version control. Track changes, roll back mistakes, and simplify security audits with GitOps workflows.
Secure scoped key automation
Automate access and provisioning with granular API keys. Integrate with SCIM, OAuth, and webhook workflows without exposing secrets.
No firewall changes required
Tailscale works with your existing network — no need to poke holes, open ports, or manage inbound rules just to get connected.
Scale access with your team
Add users, devices, and services without reconfiguring your network. Access is defined in code and based on identity, not IPs.
Fewer issues, faster fixes
With direct connectivity and user-level access visibility, Tailscale cuts out the guesswork. No more "VPN isn't working" Slack threads.

Why use Tailscale as my business VPN?
Growing businesses need seamless, secure connectivity
Built on the WireGuard® protocol, Tailscale connects your resources and data to offices, field teams, remote devices, and employees who rely on them. Tailscale replaces legacy VPNs with a modern, zero-config solution that secures access with identity and end-to-end encryption. This allows for authenticated connections regardless of provider, infrastructure, or environment.
What is a business VPN?
A virtual private network (VPN) for business creates a secure tunnel between an organization’s resources and the people who rely on them. Built on the Wireguard protocol, only Tailscale uses a mesh network for secure end-to-end encryption without routing through the public internet. This prevents unauthorized access or visibility while ensuring protection and privacy for all your enterprise traffic anywhere in the world, on any device that connects to wifi.
What do I need in place to set up a secure business VPN?
Setting up a Business VPN requires careful planning and consideration of several factors, including:
- Network architecture: The VPN should be integrated into the organization’s existing network architecture.
- Security protocols: The VPN should use secure protocols such as SSL/TLS or IPsec to encrypt internet traffic.
- Authentication: The VPN should use multi-factor authentication to ensure that only authorized users can access the company network.
- Network segmentation: The VPN should be configured to segment the network into different zones, each with its own access controls and security policies.
- Monitoring and maintenance: The VPN should be regularly monitored and maintained to ensure that it is functioning correctly and securely.
Can Tailscale integrate with our identity provider?
Yes! Tailscale supports major identity providers (IdPs) like Okta, Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), and others. You can enforce authentication with SSO and MFA for secure, seamless access.
Will Tailscale slow down my network?
No, Tailscale is optimized for speed. Because it establishes direct, peer-to-peer connections whenever possible, it avoids the bottlenecks and congestion that come with traditional VPN gateways.
How do I set up a VPN to an office network?
To set up a vpn for an office network you'll first need to choose a VPN service or software.
Configuration of the VPN depends on the provider you choose but usually involves configuring the server, then installing and configuring clients.
